Amending the rules for exam periods

You did mention that students are not allowed to 'clean; wash up; use a vacuum cleaner' but how about during the exam period ?. I know from my experience that comming upto exams you couldn't sit down for 5 minutes without someone starting a vacuum up or washing their dishes. not that we didn't like exams of course

Amending the rules for exam periods

You are correct. I clean and wash up the most when I am procrastinating doing something, which is also at other times than exam period. Because I like procrastinating more than studying. But I would say that I am a very good student and not many of the qualities listed in the article apply to me. But that's all right.

Amending the rules for exam periods

Absolutely true. The period of exam study is also useful for corresponding with vague friends and relatives you haven't seen for years, shopping, catching up on those missed episodes of soaps you never watch and updating your hitchiker entries... (geology finals this week)

Amending the rules for exam periods

You've confused me and im in a deep procrastination...... which doesnt normally occur during exam weeks...... but give it some time.Ive still got another 7 exam weeks to go before i leave-an occupational hazard of the modular deegree

Amending the rules for exam periods

A modular deegree means i have 'units of study'.Every module lasts for the term(10 weeks) or two if im really lucky.So i have another 7 terms of exams. Sort of like a deegree taken in bitesizes.Some of its shredded wheat bitesize(plain & dull);some of its the frosted type (nice &sweet)or some of it tastes likebaaaaaaad museli or dried vomitThe main advantage is i always know where i am .The main disadvantage is that i always know where i am plus the increase of stress. Boswell the rambler I pressed the h2g2 bookmark by mistake and my cousework is swearing at me -i have to go and sort it out.
